A fond farewell to Leanne Nicolle, and a warm welcome to Stachen Naomi Lett- Frederick!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto
At BBBST, we enable life-changing mentoring relationships to ignite the power and potential of young people.
After more than 7 hears at the helm, we bid farewell to our President and CEO, Leanne Nicolle. Under her leadership, the BBBST brand has been revamped, cementing ourselves as leaders in child and youth mentorship. During Leanne’s time, the process of matching our Littles with positive, caring mentors has transformed, becoming more intentional, ensuring that children and youth experiencing the most adverse childhood experiences are prioritized. With strong will and a desire to make the most impact, Leanne led the team to make meaningful connections with Bigs, Littles, their Parent/Guardians, and our donors and partners around the City of Toronto who share their unwavering support and dedication to the BBBST cause.
We are thrilled to welcome Stachen Naomi Lett-Frederick, MBA as the new President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto! With over 20 years of experience in program development and with a proven passion for supporting youth, Stachen is set to lead our organization into a new era of growth and impact. Stachen previously held the role of CEO and Executive Director of Weston Frontlines Centre for 8 years, which has ranked one of Canada's Top Youth Engagement charities under her leadership. In addition, she is the founder of BrAIDS for AIDS, a not-for-profit organization raising awareness of HIV/AIDS in the African, Caribbean and Black Communities in Canada and internationally.
At BBBST, we are dedicated to empowering the lives of children and youth through mentoring, and we are excited about the fresh perspectives and innovative strategies Stachen will bring to our mission.
